The paper considers various problems of support and development of the IKI RAN shared use center (SUC) for satellite data archiving, processing and analysis (SUC “IKI Monitoring”, http://ckp.geosmis.ru/). First, the paper provides brief information on present capabilities and structure of the SUC along with general information about archives contents, capabilities of the VEGA-Science satellite service, a unique scientific unit integrated into the SUC, and various dedicated information systems using data services provided by the SUC. Second, the key advanced technologies developed by IKI and used as a basis for the SUC development are given. The last part of the paper highlights the crucial problems of the SUC support and evolution and their possible solutions. An advanced distributed structural model of the SUC to improve its operation to a new orbit is proposed.
